LATE UNTIL T38
Believing an interchange Of idea
and comparison of methods of in
struction and discipline to be beneficia
to teachers, our school board permitte,
the teachers of our schools to dismis
on Tuesday afternoon to visit til
schools of lola. The teachers, witt
lseveral Of the patrons. started for IOl
about noon and arrived there In tim
to hear the greater part of the after
school the teachers Of both school
engaged In an hour of social chat
Then, after receiving cordial invita-
ton to ''call again" and urging III
lola teachers to return the visit. tn,
Humboldt teachers proceeded to RAFT
the offices Of the C0urant and REG
lister, In each of which they enjoyed q
few moments of pleasant conversation
with the editors. After this they
started for home declaring themselves
much benefited by the trip, and vel
pleased with the cordial manner il
which they had been received by tn,
Iolans with whom they came in
c0ntact.-Humb0ldt Union.
BY notice in another column twill
be seen that DR.. G. D. Whitaker has
given up the practice of medicine 70,
the present, passing over his practices
to DR.. A. NJ. Davis, of this city. DR.
Whitaker has rode the prairies of these
parts for the past eighteen years and
his health has failed him. He had q
splendid practice and had many pat.
r0ns who will be sorry to hear Of his
withdrawal from active practice. In
partnership with Mr.. T. L. Elliot he
has opened realestate Office in Kan
sas City and will engage in that bust
ness the coming winter, at least. We
sincerely wish him good luck in his
new departure.-C0lony Free Press.
We never kick beca use we have too
much patronage but it IL singular that
just the week when we are the most
crowded, trying to get the paper out a
day ahead of time, there should be q
greater rush of job work than at any
time within six months. However
the jobwOrk all got itself done and the
paper IL out q day ahead Of time too.
The REGISTER gang can do pile of
work when there is holiday in sight.
Klaumann's delivery team broke
away from the hitching post last Sat.
urday and took q lively run. Turning
GoOdhue & Evans corner they knock
ed post from under Geo. Davies
awning, then keeping on south they
attacked Mr.. Shank's windmill with
much the same result that befell Don
Quixote and his gallant steed In SIM
liar attack some years ago. The dam
age done was triflng.
The REGISTER was favored this
week with q friendly letter from Mr..
E. Higginson, Of Humboldt, who is
spending the winter with his family at
Chronicle, Alabama. He says there is
one mighty solid thing about that
democracy. Thew are
anxious, he says, to have northern
capital and northern. energy come down
there, but they have no use for north
ern political ideas.
Our readers will find on our last
page a very pleasant letter from Mrs.
VIM. Davis, of Carlyle, who is spend
ing the winter with friends in WASH
ingtOn, d. c. There are more interest.
ing and curious things in Washington
than in any other city in this country,
and we hope that Mrs. Davis will favor
US often with reports of what she sees.
We understandable some Of the boys
were considerably ratified by the item
In last weeks REGISTER about the
house. We hope they may
be sufficiently "rattled" to stay away
from it hereafter. IT would be un.
pleasant for US to be called on to preach
D sermon on the evil of gambling with
one of them a. frightful example.
An advertisement of the FIRST
National Bank of Humboldt appears
in this issue. From the names of the
gentlemen composing the Board of
Directors it will be seen that the
strength of the bank is unquestiOned.
1t deserves and will doubtless receive
the confidence and patronage of the
business men of its community.
Nearly everyman that comes in from
Usage township has different way of
the name of their new
post office. In the interest of harmony
we will say that the distinguished
Of State, after whom the of.
fee was named, pronounces his name
as If it were spelled "By-ard, "--with
the accent on the first syllable.
The election held in Rich township
a week ago Monday, resulted in favor
Of the bonds for the Kansas City and
Pacific road. The following day work
was resumed on the road and the
track is now laid nearly through Usage
township. 1t is expected that trains
will be running to Kincaid within ten
days or two weeks.
The only thing that the world cares
to remember about Louis XIV, the
weakest and one of the Bourbons, Is
that he once said, II would that every
man in France could have a chicken
in his pot to-day" 1t is the glory of
America that every man who deserves
Il may have q chicken in his pot this
day.
The Mayor has issued the usual
Thanksgiving day proclamation, re-
Iuesting that all business houses close
their doors at eleven o'clock to-day
and remain closed till o'clock
This will give everybody al
chance to 60 to church and to eat din
of the principal events Of the
lay.
From various "gutter snipes', in
this week it appears that
the BARRIERS are carving prices as well
Is customers. The general public can
stand war of this kind with consider
able complacency. but it is pretty
rough on the fellows who have to do
, quarters worth of work for q dime.
